Huxley police continue investigation in recent shooting

Thursday

The Huxley Police Department is waiting for lab results as the investigation into a March 6 shooting at an apartment complex continues.

Huxley Police Chief Gerry Stoll said bullet casings and fragments found at the scene are being tested. Although there are a couple of suspects, no arrests have been made.

Police received a call at around 2 a.m. on March 6 at the apartments on National Drive, behind the Casey’s General Store, just off U.S. Highway 69.

Stoll said two men knocked on a door at 106 National Drive and asked for someone.

“One of the men brandished a gun and they started to try to gain entry,” Stoll said the day of the incident.

Stoll said the victim, an adult female who answered the door, shut the door quickly and locked it and then crouched down. Shots were fired into the door before the suspects fled on foot. Stoll said the shots lodged into a wall and couch in the apartment. Stoll said the men at the door asked for someone, but that person didn’t live there.

No one was hurt and Stoll described the incident as being random in nature.
